We don’t have enough F1 competitions and fantasy leagues. Er, yes we do. But this one is different. Honest.

The rules are simple. Before every race weekend you predict the answers to 13 questions. Every answer that turns out to be right, earns you 1 (one) point. If you predict 10 or more right answers, you earn bonus points:10 correct answers: +311 correct answers: +412 correct answers: +513 correct answers: +7

That makes the maximum number of points you can earn over the whole season (13+7) x 21 = 420. Player with the most points wins. Simple, no?

5. Quali victim [driver]This is the driver who qualifies lowest compared to his WDC ranking. Official qualifying results (before grid penalties) apply. Drivers that fail to set a lap time can still be classified.

6. Overachiever race [driver]Driver who ends the race in the highest position, compared to his WDC ranking. Only drivers finishing the race in the top 10 (official result) are eligible. This is to avoid attrition to be the dominant factor. (A backmarker who finishes last will still finish the race higher than his WDC ranking if there are DNF’s.)

7. Underperformer race [driver]Driver who ends the race in the worst position, compared to his WDC ranking. All race finish positions are eligible. Driver needs to be classified.

8. First lap hero [driver]Driver who wins most race positions in the first lap. Finishing the race is not required.

9. First lap zero [driver] Driver who loses most race positions in the first lap. Retirements in lap 1 are not included (driver may retire later in the race, of course.)

10. First man out [driver]Driver that retires from the race first. Decided by lap count. So even if one retirement happened noticeably earlier than a second, if both happened in the same lap, both answers are right. Note that ‘none’ is a valid answer too.

11. Safety cars [number]This is the number of times (different occasions) the safety car is deployed during the race. The number of safety car laps is not relevant. Virtual safety cars not included.

12. Race leaders (number]Number of different drivers that crossed start/finish line first over the course of the race.

13. Classified [number]Number of cars that are classified; note that cars can be classified after completing 90% of the race distance.

For the Australian race, the WDC ranking of 2015 will be used to answer questions 4 through 7. This also means that, for Australia, the answers Magnussen, Gutierrez, Palmer, Wehrlein and Haryanto will be wrong.

Answers need to be in before the start of Qualifying of each race. I know it’s fairly short notice, but if at least 20 want to play, I will run this competition. The results will be posted the day after each race at the latest.

What do you say? Do you want to be the F1 Oracle?

Of course, other comments are welcome too. Maybe you see a glaring omission in the questions. Or you think one of the questions is nonsensical. But I do suggest we keep discussions fairly brief to get this going as soon as possible.

Yes, getting all 13 right will be virtually impossible.I want to keep the points system as simple as possible, hence the 1 point per question.But maybe it's a good idea to increase the bonus points, say:

Just a question. How can anyone be said to have qualified better than their WDC standing at the first race? What are you going to use as the comparison?

I addressed that issue in the OP:

It's not a perfect solution, but I think it's better than leaving these 4 questions out for the first race.

To clarify some of the perhaps less obvious answers: - Race leaders: 3; Vettel 32 laps / Raikkonen 3 laps / Rosberg 22 laps.- First lap hero: Wehrlein: 21st to 14th. - First lap zero: Magnussen: 14th to 21st.- First man out: Alonso and Gutierrez are both correct. Kvyat did not start (so wrong answer). Haryanto's DNF was given one lap later than the crash.

Remember that for the next GP, the current WDC ranking will be the base to judge answers 4-7. Drivers that are not currently classified will all be considered to be on 17th place.

For anyone who missed the first round: given the sparse scoring in this game, it's certainly not too late to get on board and still win.That may change a little after Bahrein, as I think there's a lot of potential for bonus points this next race.
